The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Under the crystal ball's radiance, the evil figures struggled in agony, but they didn't retreat. Instead, they charged at the crowd with even greater frenzy. Xu Tiancai gripped the Star Demon-Breaking Sword tightly, the star power emanating from its blade radiating ever brighter. With a roar, he charged at the demons weakened by the light. The sword streaked across like a meteor, each swing creating a brilliant arc of light as it struck the demons, splattering black blood and fragments of dark aura.

Ah Gang followed closely behind, his battle axe brimming with powerful fighting spirit, its golden light blazing like the sun. He suddenly leaped into the swarm of monsters, sweeping his axe across, sending approaching demons and monsters flying with the powerful force. The fighting spirit radiating from the battle axe resonated with the light of the crystal ball, unleashing bursts of energy upon impact with the evil figures, destabilizing them.

Lin, meanwhile, cast a wind elemental spell. Her hands danced, and the surrounding air quickly converged, forming countless sharp wind blades. Under her control, these blades rained down upon the evil figures attempting to evade the crystal's radiance. The blades sliced ​​through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Wherever they passed, the evil figures' bodies were slashed, and a dark aura leaked out.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, muttering something. Instantly, the massive Ice Giant reappeared, its every step freezing the ground. The Ice Giant advanced toward the horde of monsters, brandishing its massive icy fists. Each strike crushed the evil figures to pieces. Those struck were instantly frozen, then, under the continued influence of the crystal ball's light, gradually reduced to dust.

The mysterious figure and the man in white were also busy. The mysterious figure rapidly formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light continuously merged and separated in his palms, transforming into long, thin threads of energy. These threads, like serpents, weaved between the evil figures. Once they came into contact, they quickly wrapped around them, binding them. The man in white played his flute faster and faster, and the sound transformed into a flock of birds shimmering with colorful light. The birds flew around the evil figure, and with each flap of their wings, light shone, burning away the evil figure's dark aura like flames.

However, despite their concerted attack, the evil figures seemed endless in number. They continuously emerged from the darkness, charging towards them in wave after wave. During the fierce battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that while the crystal ball's light could suppress the darkness, it seemed to be weakening over time.

"Everyone, pay attention! The power of the crystal ball is being consumed. We must find a way to completely dispel the dark aura as soon as possible!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

At this moment, the Ice Princess suddenly discovered that at the source of the darkness, there was a faint black vortex. This vortex was constantly spinning, emitting a strong dark aura, and it was exactly where these evil figures appeared.

"Look there! The source of the dark aura is that black vortex. We must find a way to destroy it!" shouted the Ice Princess.

Everyone looked towards the black vortex, only to see a pair of huge blood-red eyes faintly visible within it, as if peering at them. Those eyes were filled with evil and cruelty, and just a glance at them sent a chill through everyone's heart.

"Whatever it is, we must charge!" Agang roared, swung his battle axe, and rushed towards the black vortex. The others also responded, heading towards the place where the dark aura was the strongest.

As they approached the black vortex, everyone felt a tremendous pressure. The dark aura squeezed them like a substance, and every step forward required a tremendous effort. Xu Tiancai raised the Star Demon-Breaking Sword before him, and the power of the stars formed a shield, barely resisting the encroaching dark aura. Lin, in turn, created a wind shield around them, which worked in conjunction with the star power shield to alleviate the pressure.

The Ice Princess continuously summoned ice shields to shield the group from the occasional bursts of black lightning from the darkness. These lightning bolts held immense destructive power, and a single strike would have devastating consequences. A mysterious figure and a man in white provided support from behind, unleashing energy attacks and light beasts to repel the evil figures attacking from the side.

As they got closer to the black vortex, the blood-red eyes became clearer and clearer. Everyone could see that the eyes were surrounded by black runes, which emitted a strange light, as if maintaining the operation of the black vortex.

"We have to destroy those runes!" Lin shouted.

Everyone immediately redirected their attacks, launching their assaults at the rune. Xu Tiancai unleashed his Star Sword Technique, sending blades hurtling towards the rune. The power of the stars collided with the rune, unleashing a dazzling burst of light. Agang's battle axe, brimming with fighting spirit, slashed at the rune, each strike causing it to tremble. The Ice Princess summoned an icy cone, which aimed accurately at the rune. The instant it made contact, a chilling magical force rapidly spread, attempting to freeze it.

However, the rune's power was beyond imagination. While their attacks could affect it to some extent, it would soon recover. Furthermore, each attack triggered a fierce counterattack from the black vortex. The black lightning and the attacks of the evil figure became more intense, and everyone gradually fell into a difficult battle.

Just when everyone was feeling overwhelmed, Xu Tiancai suddenly remembered the scene he had seen in the crystal ball of an ancient civilization worshipping the power of the stars. He realized that perhaps they could use the star power in the crystal ball to enhance their attack.

"Everyone, get close to the crystal ball and use its power to attack the runes!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Everyone quickly gathered around the crystal ball, connecting their own strength with its star power. Xu Tiancai felt a surge of immense power surge into his body. He wielded the Star Devil-Breaking Sword once more, this time, the light emanating from it several times more powerful than before. He slashed at the rune with all his might. Wherever the sword passed, the darkness was forcibly dispelled, and the rune began to crack noticeably under the powerful attack.

Agang placed the hourglass before him, drawing upon its power of time to stabilize his strength. He then merged his Dou Qi with the stellar power of the crystal ball. His battle axe ignited with star-like flames, and he slashed at the rune. Under the axe's attack, the cracks in the rune widened further, and the surrounding dark aura began to violently swirl.

Lin unleashed her ultimate wind magic, merging the surrounding air with the star power of the crystal ball to form a massive vortex of wind. This vortex contained powerful energy, and she directed it toward the rune. The moment the vortex made contact with the rune, the dark power within it was gradually stripped away by the wind element, dimming the rune's light.

The Ice Princess combined her own icy magic with the crystal ball's stellar power. With a wave of her wand, a massive beam of ice shot toward the rune. The cold magic contained within the ice beam, enhanced by the stellar power, quickly froze the rune. Encased in ice, the rune began to crack, and a dark aura leaked from the cracks, quickly purified by the crystal ball's light.

The mysterious figure quickly formed hand seals, seamlessly merging the forces of darkness and light with the star power of the crystal ball. A massive energy ball, black and white, shimmered with star-like glints, appeared in his palm. He flung the energy ball toward the rune. As it flew, the ball continuously absorbed the surrounding free energy, growing larger and larger. When the energy ball contacted the rune, a massive explosion occurred. The rune was shattered in the blast, and the black vortex trembled violently.

The man in white played his flute at breakneck speed, the sound transforming into gigantic beasts of light. Fusing with the star power of the crystal ball, these beasts shone even brighter. They charged toward the rune, pounding it with their bodies. Each impact dealt a heavy blow, and under the continuous assault of the beasts, the rune finally collapsed.

As the runes shattered, the black vortex began to spin out of control. It spun wildly, its powerful suction pulling everything around it, including the evil figures. Everyone held onto nearby objects tightly to prevent themselves from being sucked in.

"We must take this opportunity to completely destroy the source of darkness!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Everyone worked together, pooling their strength and unleashing their most powerful attack on the black vortex. Xu Tiancai's Star Demon-Breaking Sword, Agang's battle axe, Lin's wind magic, the Ice Princess's ice magic, the mysterious figure's dark and light powers, and the white-clad figure's light beast power—all combined to form an incredibly dazzling beam of energy. This beam shot towards the black vortex, and the moment it made contact, it erupted with devastating energy.

Under the powerful impact of this energy, the black vortex began to gradually disintegrate. The blood-red eyes roared in agony, and the dark aura quickly dissipated under the illumination of the light. However, just as the black vortex was about to be completely destroyed, a massive black claw suddenly emerged from its depths. This claw was covered in sharp bone spurs and exuded a terrifying dark aura. It clawed at the crowd with such speed that no one had time to dodge.

Upon seeing this, Xu Tiancai immediately raised the Star Devil-Breaking Sword and stood in front of everyone. The claw collided with the Star Devil-Breaking Sword, and the powerful impact made Xu Tiancai kneel on one knee. His arm was numb from the shock, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. The others also exerted their own strength and attacked the black claw. Agang's battle axe chopped off the claw, splashing a shower of black sparks; Lin's wind blade slashed through the claw, leaving deep wounds; the Ice Princess's ice spike pierced the claw, and the cold magic slowed the claw's movements; the mysterious figure and the man in white released energy attacks and light beasts that continuously attacked the claw, trying to stop its advance.

With everyone's combined attack, the black claws were finally repelled. But before anyone could even catch their breath, the black vortex underwent another transformation. An even stronger dark aura surged from the vortex, rapidly condensing into a massive dark figure. This figure was towering, possessing three heads and six arms, each holding a different weapon: a massive scythe, a black trident, and chains blazing with dark flames. Its three faces displayed expressions of ferocity, anger, and cruelty, while its six eyes flashed a blood-red light, staring intently at the crowd.

"You ants, how dare you ruin my plan? Go to hell!" The dark figure roared, and the sound echoed in the ruins like thunder.

With that, it raised its weapon and charged at the group. Its speed was incredible, reaching them in an instant. Xu Tiancai was the first to meet the enemy, brandishing his Star Devil-Breaking Sword, clashing with the dark figure's sickle. The power of the stars and the power of darkness collided, unleashing a powerful energy wave that distorted the surrounding air. Ah Gang also rushed towards the dark figure, his battle axe colliding with the dark figure's trident. The powerful force cracked the ground around them.

Lin unleashed a forbidden spell of wind magic, gathering all the surrounding air and compressing it into countless massive air bombs. These bombs rained down upon the dark figure, exploding around him. The powerful impact caused him to stagger slightly. The Ice Princess waved her wand, summoning a massive ice shield and ice spikes. The ice shield stood before them, shielding them from the dark figure's attacks, while the ice spikes shot towards him, attempting to pierce his body.

The mysterious figure rapidly formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light merged in his hands into massive chains of energy. These chains flew toward the dark figure, wrapping around its arms and weapons, attempting to restrict its movement. The figure in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into a swarm of radiant light beasts. These beasts took on various forms: a phoenix ablaze with flames, a roc soaring with wings spread, and a qilin running at lightning speed. They charged toward the dark figure, battling it with their own might. The phoenix burned the dark figure with its flames, the roc tore at its defenses with its claws, and the qilin rammed its body into the dark figure, attempting to knock it down.
